Abstract

Chem. 1990, 62, 696. This should lead the interested reader to the considerable literature on this topic. organic halides or with carbonyl or ammethine derivatives to yield enamines, which can be converted by protons or other electrophilea into aldehydes or into five- membered heterocycles; lithiation of such allyldiarylamines with other reagents leads principally to isomerization to enamines (with lithium diisopropylamide) or to carbenoid ...
